Synchronization Context

A 4 hours gap allows for a manageable shared window, typically in the morning or late afternoon. It requires some scheduling but supports daily synchronization.

Dubai Business Pulse

Culture International and multicultural. Sunday is a standard working day, while Friday is often a half-day or holiday.
Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
Pro Tip The traditional UAE work week is Monday to Friday, but many local businesses and government entities may have shorter hours on Fridays (ending around 12:00 PM). Sunday is no longer a weekend for most, but always verify your contact's specific schedule as multicultural teams vary.

Manila Business Pulse

Culture Highly service-oriented and Westernized in professional settings. Very hospitable and polite.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Standard business hours calls are best between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Filipinos are exceptionally polite and values "Pakikisama" (harmony); avoid overly blunt or confrontational language. Be aware that typhoon season can frequently disrupt schedules and connectivity.
